Teleios evaluated various publicly available social, political and economic measures of the 20 countries with the highest average GDP vs. the 20 with the lowest GDP. The freest nations were more often Christian, had the highest GDP and better: Human Freedom Index, Economic Freedom Index, World Press Freedom Index, World Happiness Report & Corruption Perceptions Index. This data shows countries with the highest mean GDP also ranked in the top 25% of free countries, demonstrated additional differences that might impact wellbeing. As an underlying moral and ethical base, freer countries were more often Christian in background. In summary, since biblical principles encourage hard work and high moral and ethical standards, Christianity may have contributed to the economic and freedom based differences identified between the affluent free and less free countries analyzed for this report.
